On today’s Fox 7 TV Segment with anchor person Sarah Brownlee we talked about our recent trip to VEGAS!
What a whirlwind! Two weddings back to back, but they were fun! Thanks to my girl, Heidi Wagner and her eye-catching photography Eye Candy Photography for the pictures. Shhhh…the pretty girl in white with the dude with red shoes his her sister!
Vegas Chapels are quaint (and somewhat inexpensive), but they are very cookie-cutter approach. You have seven minutes and you sign your license, get flowers, walk down the aisle, say i-do, kiss and take a few photos. For some….that is the perfect wedding planning!
Here are some cool shots, see Mr. and Mrs. Kenny and Becki Woodall…..
and of course, you have to have fun in the casino….
This wedding I actually crashed….they were uber-cool….
and they got married at Graceland’s Wedding Chapel. Complete with an Elvis singer. I think Jon Bon Jovi married there….
Vegas also offers more traditional weddings in beautiful banquet rooms. What fun to make that a destination spot, but still have a more traditional ceremony and reception? To each his own! Happy marriages to the happy couples!

You have to ask yourself when planning your wedding, “Am I person that easily takes risks”?
This is an important question to100% honest with your answer because knowing what “type” of person you are will help you make better decisions for your wedding.
Case in point: this weekend we have Amanda Monarch and Brian Woods wedding at Cambridge Golf Course. The ceremony is going to take place outside at the fountain. It’s going to be beautiful, but if you are reading this on Friday, you know they are calling for rain. Amanda is totally cool and laid back with the gamble of having it outside with no tent (the back up plan to move the guests to the reception for the ceremony). She’s a risk taker.
Take another recent client, Tara Brown and Max Axler. They flew their Rabbi in from Connecticut ON THE DAY OF THEIR WEDDING! So when the Rabbi’s plane got grounded twice and she was stuck in St. Louis (until we sent a car for her), it wasn’t looking too good. Neither one of my darling clients broke a sweat or lost their smiles. Those people are risk takers. They rolled their “wedding’ dice and it came up great! The Rabbi arrived and amazingly we walked down the aisle on schedule.
If you’ve read these two examples and said to yourself, “There is NO way I could do that”, do not feel bad! It’s smart to acknowledge that about yourself. Now you know you should not be making decisions that take big risks on your wedding day! And it just isn’t worth it!

We interrupt this usual jovial discussion of planning weddings and so forth to make this announcement. I want to preface that some of you might need a tissue as this news release will deeply sadden you.
Gary Coleman is officially off the market.
And that is all we have to say about that.

I could NOT leave out the wedding of Tina Wolfe and Randy Swain. Rhonda (mom) and Tina went to several bridal shows before they found me. These two ladies are really cracked me up through the full service planning process. Very real. Very blunt. And very opinionated. Sound like anyone you know?
Tina and Randy were very sweet and along with their wedding party; knew how to party. Well the Wolfe’s always know how to throw a big party. Memorable moments: this was the wedding that the DJ had a fire in their establishment the night before the wedding. The father of the bride, Jeff, kept everyone in stitches after a few cocktails. We paid respects to Tina’s grandfather who owns a nightclub but having a seated area at the dance floor - recreating Club Royale. The food stations were spectacular; Evansville’s Executive Inn did a fantastic job.

I just got back into town. 19 email message just this morning alone. So for the next few days; until I can sort through my pics from Atlanta…..please preview some more real weddings from 2007.
Brooke and Lisa (mom) Waninger were referred to me and visited my booth at SuperBride Sunday. Anyone who knows Lisa, knows she is a force to be reckoned with. Both highly organized by any standards, they realized they wanted some help along the way so enlisted us for a partial planning package.
The wedding and reception took place in Owensboro, KY and was simply fabulous with the bright colors and choice of flowers. Memorable moments: loved the band Charlene Blay and the 2nd Edition (actually have acquired their services since) and even though there were about 20 people in the wedding party…they were all terrific!!!
